Chapter 203 It’s Hard to Raise a Child
When the three of them arrived at the dock, there were already quite a few people queuing up to get on board. Song Zeyuan was afraid that there would be no room for them, so he quickened his pace.
"Sister, hurry up, there are so many people here.
We won’t be able to get on the boat if it’s full.”
"Walk slowly, don't fall.
Before I brought you here, I already paid at the dock. This is the cabin sign. Just get on board."
"Sister is so nice!"
After Song Zeyuan said this, he blinked his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
After entering the cabin, Song Anyue knelt on the stool in front of the window and looked outside curiously.
Song Zeyuan followed his sister and said seriously:
"Sister just asked us what we should prepare before leaving, but Yuan didn't think of this.
No matter where we go, we must know in advance how far away the place is, how long it will take to get there, and whether to take a boat or a carriage.
Not only that, but you also need to know where to board the boat and book it in advance.”
Song Anning smiled with relief and touched Song Zeyuan's little head.
"Ayuan is right. We should be well prepared before going out. If an accident happens, we won't be afraid."
"Ok!"
"You should go and have a look too. The boat will be sailing soon."
This is the purpose of her trip. It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
Some things cannot be learned by teaching alone. Only by experiencing them in person can you have a deep impression.
Along the way, the two children were very excited, especially after the boat started, they leaned on the window and chattered non-stop.
"Look, there are fish in the water!"
"We are walking on water now. It's so fun."
"Sister, this is our village. I saw Goudan washing his face by the river."
They kept talking all the way. Song Anning rubbed his temples and felt that there was a saying that was so true: raising a child is harder than making money!
More than an hour later, the big ship slowly approached the Linhai Town Pier. It was not until they got off the ship that the two children discovered that their sister had brought more than a dozen boxes of goods.
"Sister, what's in this? Preserved eggs?"
"No, this is dried fruit that my sister had someone make in town and brought over for her business."
"Oh, then why not do it in the village?"
Song Zeyuan was a little puzzled. No wonder his sister always went out. It turned out that she had business. If she worked in the village, wouldn’t she have to go out?
"We already have so much income. If we have a few more, the villagers will get jealous and might do something."
Just like those people from Liujia Village last time, they saw us making money and kept watching us."
"Then let's make money quietly and not tell anyone.
Ah Yue, don’t tell anyone about this when you return to the village.”
"No way! I don't want to make the villagers jealous!"
It was getting late, and Song An Ning planned to find an inn to rest today and look for Chen Guanghui tomorrow.
She still remembered the last incident with Xiao Yao. It was impolite to go to a married man's house late at night to discuss business. She must pay attention to this.
So she found a carriage and went to the inn where Yu Xiaochuan and his sister were staying.
He asked for a room with a bed in the east and a small couch in the west, and asked the shopkeeper about the recent situation of Yu Xiaochuan and his sister.
According to the shopkeeper, the brother and sister only rested for one day, and went out to work the next day and did not come back until very late.
From the shopkeeper's words, Song An Ning learned that the brother and sister were living well, and she felt a little relieved.
"Go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the beach to dig for shells. How about that?"
"I'm going to sleep now and get up early tomorrow!"
"Sister, is the beach nice? Will we see any big fish?"
I heard from the uncles in the village that there are big fish in the sea that are bigger than the boat."
The two little ones started asking a hundred thousand questions again. The excitement of going on a long trip had not yet subsided. They lay on the bed with their eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep at all.
"Sister will wake you up early tomorrow, and then we can go to the beach and see for ourselves.
Okay, now don’t talk, close your eyes and go to sleep.”
Song Anning's eyelids were drooping. Taking care of children was really tiring. Why did they have so many weird problems!
In one minute, she could call out "Sister" more than ten times! Her head was buzzing.
I didn’t do any physical work today, but I feel more tired than after a day of climbing the mountain!
After Song An Ning fell asleep, the two children gradually calmed down and had a dreamless night.
"Ayuan, Ayue, get up, Shell is waiting for you..."
Usually, Song Anyue would get up late, or even stay in bed and not want to get up.
But today was different. When she heard her sister's voice, she jumped up from the bed, found her coat and put it on quickly.
"Sister, I'm done packing, let's go!"
In less than a cup of tea, the two little ones had tidied themselves up and stood obediently at the door with sparkling eyes.
They have an infinite yearning for the sea. They had only heard adults talk about it before, and now they are going there themselves. How can they not be excited?
"Let's go! Sister will take you to buy a sand shovel and a small wooden bucket."
Just as they were about to go out, the two kids remembered what their elder sister said yesterday: they must be adequately prepared before going out.
"Sister, we need to bring some food and fresh water. Grandma said the sea water is salty and can't be drunk!"
"Also, how far is the beach from here? Do we need to take a car?"
Seeing the two of them asking questions so cutely, Song Anning stepped forward, pinched their little faces, and said with a smile:
"It's not far, just a mile out of the city and you'll reach the beach.
We did bring some water and food, which we bought when we bought the sand shovel."
I didn’t expect that after what she said yesterday, these two would be able to draw inferences about other situations today. They are so smart.
"You did a great job this time and thought it through very carefully. When you get back from the beach, I'll buy you a large conch shell that you can blow."
"Hey, thank you, sister!"
When they arrived at the beach, the beach was full of people, mostly fishermen who went to the sea. Seeing Song Anning with two children, they probably wanted to play with the children, so they did not drive them away and were very kind.
"Girl, take the two kids over there. There are a lot of beautiful little shells there, and maybe you can even see crabs."
Song Anning thanked them and looked in the direction those people were pointing. It was the place where she went to the beach for the first time.
She had always wanted to go there because there were fewer people, the scenery was beautiful, and it was quiet.
But the moment the two little ones saw the sea, they could no longer walk. They turned into two little springs, jumping around in the same place.
"Sister, is this the ocean? Why can't I see the edge?"
"Where are the big fish? Why are there no big fish?"
"Sister, this is much bigger than the water bubble in our village!"
